Hi all -- I'm experimenting with various Java versions on one of my new Lenny installs, and I'm having a problem with the "sun-java6-doc" package.
This package says it's an installer package only, and doesn't provide the actual docs, but prompts the user to go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads, and get one of two files (jdk-6u12-docs.zip or jdk-6u12-docs-ja.zip), put it in /tmp owned by root:root, and then continue the package installation. This is all fine, I understand (at least in theory) why this is necessary, but the problem is, I can't find that file on the download site. Part of the problem, of course, is that the Sun download site is oriented around their bundles, and is about acquiring particular functionality from Sun, so they're not motivated to help me find actual files. There is a "documentation" link there, but it's two updates old, it refers to jdk-6u10-docs.zip. My second guess was that the docs are inside the JDK bundle, so I downloaded that, but it's not obvious to me how to extract the stand-alone docs file from this thing, with or without installing it. Has anyone done this already? How does it work? My other idea, which I haven't tried yet, is to download that jdk-6u10-docs.zip file and just rename it to satisfy the package installer, but this is not a satisfying solution to me. -- A. -- Andrew Reid / rei...@bellatlantic.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
